Years DJing: I began DJing in 1997 in Colorado and on both coasts, including performing one of the few house-techno DJ sets broadcast worldwide over the internet for the 1999-into-2000 New Year's Eve. After that, I became a professional DJ in 2001, taking my first club residency in New York City.
Genre: I'm genre-fluid.
Where you can catch me regularly: I tend to play fairly regular dates in Washington D.C., New York City and San Francisco. For Portland, we're kicking off Slyd Society Live at the Liquor Store on Oct. 22.
Craziest gig: I performed at a mountaintop pool party in the Central American jungle overlooking the Pacific Coast during sunset last year for a few hundred people. It got pretty wild. People were climbing up the elevated DJ booth, all the way up the speaker scaffolding, to dance above the sides of the stage. That was a riotous party. Also, for this recent 2016 NYE, I played a house party here in Portland, and the living room dance floor almost caved in from all the people going crazy during my set. Apparently, the ceiling below began to collapse and the landlord cut the power.
My go-to records: I've been diggin' Soul Clap's brand-new album. I have a few uncirculated edits I like to play a bunch; Gene Siewing's edit of Aurra's "Such a Feeling" is one of them.
Don't ever ask me to play…: I'm not like that. If people aren't rude, I appreciate hearing requests from fans. That doesn't mean I'll play it, but it's always interesting to hear what people come up with. They usually run the gamut, and I've heard plenty of incredibly nonsensical requests. On the other hand, sometimes people request amazing songs and have incredible ideas.
NEXT GIG: Nutritious spins at Slyd Society at the Liquor Store, 3341 SE Belmont St., with Cee White and VJ JumpWire, on Saturday, Oct. 22. 9 pm. 21+.
